These 3 inventions make it possible for firefighters to extinguish fires without getting close to the flames

They can be placed in hazardous situations so that humans don't have to go in to suppress the flames.

From water-blasting robots to flame-suppressing dodgeballs, watch the video above to see how these inventions can change the way firefighters extinguish fires.

Following is the transcript of the video.

Thermite 3.0. This firefighting robot is called Thermite 3.0. It pumps 2,500 gallons of water per minute. It's made from aircraft-grade aluminum and steel and can be sent to areas too hazardous for humans.
